My journal from Scintillus
Academy

To explain the Academy,
one must start with the
test. The test is
dangerous. Students who
complete nine years of
study at the Academy
are given the option to
take the final exam or
leaving in disgrace. Of
those who choose, some
pass and are awarded
their degrees as Full
Mages. The less fortunate
are mailed home to their
families in large envelopes.
Even those who pass are
sometimes scarred or
wake screaming.

The test subjects are no
secret, as we are told on
the first day:

Section One: Lateral
Reasoning

Section Two: Equilibrium
and Non-local Causality

Section Two, Part Two:
Synchronization

Section Three:
Psychokinesis and
Terraforming

Section Four: Spatial
Reasoning

Section Five: Effects and
Constraints

Section Six: Risk
Avoidance

Section Seven:
Nonreversible Effects

These subjects cover the
first eight years at the
Academy, with the final
year being focused on
working for a full mage
to prepare for the exam.
Those in the final year
do not often sleep. Fear
keeps them focused on
the task at hand.

I. 
Lateral reasoning is about
putting aside formal logic
which doesn�t always
apply to magic. Many of
the constraints we believe
are wrong and can be
ignored with a little
creative reasoning. With
enough magic, every wall
is a door. The tricks are
numerous, but so are the
pitfalls.

II. 
Equilibrium at its most
basic idea is that the
natural world likes being
a certain state, and it
will move back to that
state of balance whenever
possible. Magic can shift
that, but must always
keep equilibrium in mind.
To understand, non-local
causality, one must
understand that many
properties we assume are
universal are a matter of
perspective. From one
perspective, something can
be seen to cause an
event to happen, but
from another point of
view, the outcome happens
before the cause.

II � II. 
Synchronization is the
elaborate timekeeping
required to coordinate the
pieces and events in a
complex magical system.
While most with the gift
can cast simple spells,
elaborate rituals and
artifact crafting require
more detailed planning and
precision.

III. 
Psychokinesis is
manipulating matter and
energy with one�s will.
With practice and power,
the earth itself can be
manipulated.

IV. 
Spatial reasoning is more
than geometry and a good
eye. When travelling and
measuring the Void, one
must understand strange
spatial relationships.

V. 
A focus on the sorts of
effects magic can create,
and some of the
limitations of magic. Most
of these limitations are
only limitations based on
available magical reagents
and time.

VI. 
An entire year spent
learning when not to use
magic and when to avoid
the temptation to abuse
power. I know some failed
this year, and they will
spend a long time with
some very horrible
demons.

VII. 
Some deaths cannot be
saved by magic. Some
things are permanent.
That which created life in
the Void and its worlds
are such fixtures of
reality. These are
dangerous to meddle with.

I have passed my test. I
should write what
happened, but it was as
difficult as they say. I
must return to my
studies of the Void.

This is now the fifth
straight day that I have
detected an
interdimensional
disturbance in the ether.
Judging from the
proportional increases. I
am now surer than ever
that something
monstrously powerful is
fast approaching our
planet. The council has
thus far refused to
acknowledge the import of
my observations, but I am
convinced that we are
potentially in grave
danger.
